Open Studio Days
Open Studio Days are a chance to step into the Inner World Building room and engage with the sandtray in a flexible, creative way. Inspired by Pat Allen’s Open Studio Process, these sessions invite you to explore symbols, images, and meaning without pressure or expectation. The focus is on process, not product — it’s about showing up, engaging with what emerges, and allowing insight to unfold in its own time.
In the studio you’ll find sand, water, figures, and space to build from your inner world. You’re free to follow your impulses, experiment, and return to images that feel alive. Afterwards, there’s time for gentle reflection — through writing, sharing, or simply sitting with what you’ve created.
Open Studio Days emphasize trust in the creative process. Through this kind of trust, the creative process becomes a form of self-care, promoting clarity, resilience, and emotional wellbeing. There’s no right or wrong way to engage. Each person works independently within a shared space, held by the collective presence of the group. Comments on other's creations is discouraged. Witnessing without judgement is encouraged.
